I opted out of Google services a while back. Their share first, ask later mode of operation is really irksome, so much so, that I eventually dumped my Nexus 4 for an iPhone which I am much happier with.

Google is getting worse and worse with each passing day. If you're still using google products, then I recommend you do some serious soul searching. People who use google are supporting a culture that says its okay to violate our privacy. Please don't support them or Facebook, or any other company that makes money from collecting our personal information. Instead we should be using sites that don't violate our privacy such as Ravetree, HushMail, DuckDuckGo, etc.
